Light
swelled
softly
to
a
gentle
dimness
.
"
Here
,
Ben
.
"
"
Oh
!
I
thought
you
had
gone
!
"
"
I
didn
’
t
intend
to
wake
you
.
"
She
was
wearing
–
to
his
sudden
and
intense
disappointment
–
her
robe
of
office
.
"
I
must
go
start
the
Sunrisers
’
Outer
Service
.
Gillian
isn
’
t
back
yet
.
As
you
know
,
it
was
a
fairly
big
class
.

Her
words
brought
back
to
him
things
she
had
told
him
last
night
things
which
,
at
the
time
,
had
upset
him
despite
her
gentle
and
quite
logical
explanations
?
and
she
had
soothed
his
upset
until
he
found
himself
agreeing
with
her
.
He
still
was
not
quite
straight
in
his
mind
he
didn
’
t
grok
it
all
–
but
,
yes
,
Jill
was
probably
still
busy
with
her
rites
as
high
priestess
–
a
task
,
or
perhaps
a
happy
duty
,
that
Dawn
had
offered
to
take
for
her
.
Ben
felt
a
twinge
that
he
really
should
have
been
sorry
that
Jill
had
refused
,
had
insisted
that
Dawn
get
much
needed
rest
.
But
he
did
not
feel
sorry
.
"
Dawn
?
do
you
have
to
leave
?
"
He
scrambled
to
his
feet
,
put
his
arms
around
her
.
"
I
must
go
,
Ben
dear
?
dear
Ben
.
"
She
melted
up
against
him
.
"
Right
now
?
In
such
a
rush
?

There
is
never
,
"
she
said
softly
,
"
that
much
hurry
.
"
Suddenly
the
robe
no
longer
kept
them
apart
.
He
was
too
bemused
to
wonder
what
had
become
of
it
.
He
woke
up
a
second
time
,
found
that
the
"
little
nest
"
he
was
in
lighted
softly
when
he
stood
up
.
He
stretched
,
discovered
that
he
felt
wonderful
,
then
looked
around
the
room
for
his
shorts
.
They
were
not
in
sight
and
no
way
for
them
to
be
out
of
sight
.
He
tried
to
recall
where
he
had
left
them
?
and
had
no
recollection
of
ever
having
taken
them
off
.
But
he
certainly
had
not
worn
them
into
the
water
.
Probably
beside
the
pool
in
the
Innermost
Temple
–
he
made
a
mental
note
to
stop
back
there
and
pick
them
up
,
then
went
out
and
found
a
bathroom
.
Some
minutes
later
,
shaved
,
showered
,
and
refreshed
,
he
did
remember
to
look
into
the
Innermost
Temple
,
failed
to
find
his
shorts
and
decided
that
somebody
,
Patty
maybe
,
had
noticed
them
and
put
them
near
the
outer
door
where
apparently
everybody
kept
what
they
needed
for
street
wear
?
said
to
hell
with
it
and
grinned
at
himself
for
having
made
such
a
jittery
old
-
maid
issue
last
night
out
of
wearing
them
or
not
.
He
needed
them
,
here
in
the
Nest
,
the
way
he
needed
a
second
head
.
